BITTEN TIUlOlHill THE HEART.
The Sad Fate of Two Men who Fung-lit n
rUly.
Willinm Farley, who has just arrived
fmra Ihc Med'c ntj How Countrj. tells
tin! htory of a thrilling hear hunt in
which two old frontiersmen lost their
lives. Fat ley and two companions,
lames Wilson and .lake .Shultz, were
on a prospecting trip on the Little Pnsi
Creek, which debouches into the Medi
cine How Fi rk of the North Platte
south of Klk Mountain. It has been
the common bol'cf for years that rich
Id aver mines existed in this nook of the
lock es, and the littlo pa ty started out
last fall in quest of the hidden gold.
They selected a valley spot at I he 'con
fluence of Littln and llijr Pas Creek i
for their principal camping p'acc and
the locality where thor should meut
in tho event they separated in the
mountains. Hero they erected a perma
nent tent and depoiited the bulk of
their supplies.
Soon alter Farley and his partner lo
cated at the forks, early in October, tho
foo1 prints of a huge gri.zly bear were
discmcrcd in the neighborhood. Hu
did not seem to bo at all aggressive,
contenting himself for a few nights
prowling around tho camp. Tho pns
necton irrew s-omowliat alarmed at tho
freoncnev and familiaritv of these n .c- t
ttimal visiLs. and Farlev suggested that
thev organic a hunt. "Shu tz, who was
a mountiineer of large experience,
counseled him to havo no fears prom
ising that old Hru n would shortly find
si-mo rcw attraction and disappear,
Meanwhile, two tra shad l-ccn net for
tho bear, and. in both ca-cs, ho had
clever y extracted the ba't without hav
ing sustained so much as tho loss of a
hair from Ins shaggy hide
i appc
mire as uncoucemculy as if ho was
bullet jiroof. The prospectors had just
finii-hed eating supper. '1 he camp-lire
in front of the tent, and about twenty
aa aawaa aaw araava iu aw
yards distant, was burning 1
mg ember from the 1 nib
low; a fall-
of a trco
in own over it, occasionally caused a
lur d glow. Close by tho lire wcio tho
dishes and the icninants of tho repast
a tin can full of sugar and one of
sirup, half a sack of Hour, somo bread
and fried bacon and antelope scraps.
They had left thcirriRcslcaninjr against
a quaking asp limb near tho tire, and ,
were recniiiiig-on incir ui nseis luzuy
smoking and plotting tho bear s do.i h.

said Shultz. we could get away with
him without an' trouble, llu. from
what I have obscrv d. I would judge
this fellow is : u old T. rtar, and
we '
,Ti st then there was a sound of somo
lieaVy body moving- through tho bushes
back of the fire. The words died away
on Shultz's lips, and tho threo men
looked in the direction whence the noise
came, as if petrified.
The grizdy walked out into the open
ing, swelling, in tho imaginat'on of tho
defenseless prospectors, to tho dimen
sions of an elephant He growled at tho
fire a moment and then turned his at
tention to tho edibles. The sirup cup
was, for a while, a fifteen puzloior
him: but finally, in his hungry r.pe, ho
accidentally turned it otcrC and tho
contents t'owod out through tho small
aperture in tho lid on to the ground.
hile the bear was engaged in licking
up tho sirup the prospectors recovered
their preienco of mind. Farley and
Shultz had a pistol each, but Wilson
had loft his with the guns. Ho had a
bowie-knife, however, and with this
weapon he resolved to do battle in tho
event of emergency. To attack the
riz ly with pistols and a knife was
perilous. To Ho there, hoping to re
main unnoticed, while momentarily
fearing discovery, was inffcrable.
Something must bo done, and that
ouicklv. The nlan of action wis ar
ranged with bated breath. Farley and
ShulU crawled out beneath the rear Hap
of the tent. They were to make a
stealthy detour to where the guns were,
surprise the bear, and riddle him with
bullets. Wilson was to remain con
cealed in the tent
The two men had not gone more than
a half-dozen yards from the tent when
Farley broke a limb off a fallen tree, in
ste- ping over it, and tho loud report
startled the bear. The grizzly fell back
on his hind quarters, uttered a furious
growl and then made for the tent on a
run. Before Schullz or Farlev could
shoot or collect their frightened senses
the bear bad broken through the tent
They knew that nothing less -than a
tn'racle could save Wilson's life, and
immediately took shelter among the low
branches of a cottonwood tree. In tho
dim light of the camp-fire they saw the
tent heaving with the conflict for life
razing within, and while pray'agtbat
Wilson would come out vMowous, a
wild death cry told them that the strug
gle was at an end. The commotion
within ceased on the fad nr away of the
horrible echo, and the grizzly snambled
out into the light Be stargered around
tho fire; surveyed the pool of sirup on
the ground, but seemed to have no fur
ther appetite for it, and then departed
as abruptly as he cime.
It was some time before Farley and
Sohultz could muster up sufficient cour
a;e to descend from the tree, believing
that the bear was still hiding close by.

wounded, and cfhap criouly, a cr
erj' a ep he made was marked by a
patch of blood. Sleep waa a atraticr
tor that niht. The two men rcp'en
iahed the fire, and. with gun in hand,
sat anil p'anncd revenge, little dream
ing that the eflori meant the death of
one of them. At early daybreak they
took up the blood-atainc I trad of tho

Farley climbed up on a beaver houo
into a position which jra'e him a sweep
ing view of more than half the circle of
the bush and nervously awaited the re
sult of Shultz' hazardous exploration.
ShulU caut'ously crept through tho
chaparral. One, two and three minutes
seemed to stretch out into po many
hours. Then there broke out on tho
morning air a yell that froze the very
blood in his' vein. Alter that
came the echo of the despairing
cry: "Farley! My Kod. I'm killed! A
deadly silence that was only broken by
the splashing of a 1 caver's ta 1 in one
of the open darm, ensued, and Farley
knew that ho had lot his second part

was walking into the jaws of certain

seek Shultz. Thero was no danger,
however, tho bear had again lied. In a

It is claim d by theorists, and alo by
wmu pract c.il fanners, that a 1 fencing
to inclose ea'lle is a useless expense,
made necessary only by tho costly
sihtemof pasturage. That Hiding or
the keeping of stock in tho stable or
yard the year round may be prolitable
i nder somo circumstances is not
den'ed. but that it can be adopted in
gene al j raet.ee in our countr), at least
in the I-astern States, is not to lie ex
jiected, for Jew farms are in whole ara
ble, ada ited to p'ow and to mowing:
hence, fences are a neccsity and tho
que-tion is whit stylo is tnot de.sira
bio. Taking into account eo.t. dura
bilit.. and cTcaey, nonets c jual to a
good stone wall nnd. in the long run.
none ohoaiuir wh ro material is availa
b'e. (Jn many farms stones must Imj ro
moved for conuuienco of cu tivation.
and if removed to where ermauuil
fences ate wanted, such as line fences
or other permanent iLv.sions. the ma
terial for the best ences is there for all
timo and the hu Ming of a wall is no
more expensive th in the material and
labor of any good wood fence, and if
well built will ia.st fifty years or longer
w th but little repairs, "tho material bu
ing always on the .spot when rebuilding
becomes neosary. A stone wall stand
ing four and a half feet high will t rn
any animal that should be allowed to
run at pasture, and if pigs are turned in
to glean the grain stubbles there is no
danger of their gcttng through into
other iields. Cattle and horses that
jump a wood fence of tho same height
w II keep clear of a stone wall.
To construct a good .stonu fence th
sur aco should be taken oil' to the dc. th
of six inches or moro. according to soil.
This can be done with plow and scraper
at small expense, and the earth taken
on should lo banked tin to tho wall
ator it is built 'I he fo ndatlon should
be about three feet broad and the wall
ta eicd up on each side equally to one
foot on top, to be capped by one stone.
When the stone.? are small, as is usual
with held s one. three or four courses
of flat sticks should be laid across to
hold it from fa'ling down by the action
of frost on the foundation. For this
purpose cedar timber is bst. but any
timl er that splits freely xvill do. and
een old .staves and refuse boards are
often used. Where lield or quarry
stone are uot found on the farm for
fencing, either wood or iron must be
used.
Tho best wood fence is the old Vir
ginia "worm," both as to durability
and chea; ness, where timber is plenty
and suitable. Any lasting timber, such
as cedar, chestnut white' oak or black
ash. makes good mils for wood fence,
and when propc ly laid, with stakes and
w ro support makes a ve y o'licient
and lasting fence against all domestic
animals. The ob ccton that it occupies
too much space is true where land Is
used for cultivation cxclushely. but not
when used for pasturage. The corners
are quite liable to become filled with
briers and foul weeds, but the thorough
farmer will tind time to destroy all such
unsightly and wasteful g owth".
The common po-t and board fence
has at least the merit of neatness when
new and in pe feet repair, but it is the
mot expensive fence the farmer builds

irom year to yea- till the fence will

The Man Who Swallawed a Speea.
The waiter Gcniscain who rwallowcd
the spoon four months ago in Paris, and
on whom Dr. Fclicet performed the
operation of gastrotcmy, is dead. The
operation, as we stated at the time, was
most suecc-s."ul. The spoon was taken
out and the opening in the stomach
stitched up aain w th silver wire- He
was pat on a rigorous diet of rum and
soup, and was favorably progressing
toward what was ontidently expected
would prove a complete recorcry- tn
happily, however, some three weeks
ago ho was seized with a violent craving
for more solid food. and. nrofitin'r bv
the absence of the person who waa'

. ct hold of a loaf of bread and a large
piece of cheese, which he ate greedily.
As was to be expected inflammation
speedily declared itself, the sutnre came
undone and the wound reopened- It
was stitched up arain; bat after a little
time peritonitis supervened, aad he died
oa Sunday lart at the hospital of Sk
